The Kentucky Sherriffs’ Boys & Girls Ranch opened for its 37th year on Sunday, June 10.

The non-profit organization serves Kentucky’s youth through a summer camping program designed to build their self-esteem, while teaching them respect for themselves, others and law-enforcement professionals.

The program – which is free to campers thanks to the support of Sherriffs, members and contributors – will run throughout the summer, serving both boys and girls, alternately throughout the camp season.
